Easy EA Bio increase
An easy way to increase your Bio is to first end a
career mode season. Then, save the season before selecting "New
Season" at the top. After you have saved, go to the new season.
As soon as you are done with re-rolling the stats (optional),
the EA Bio bar will appear. Choose to save on that bar (only happens
without autosave). Do not save the season, then exit. Return into
your career and it should be back to where you can start the next
season. Start the next season and repeat the process. After you
have tried it a few times go into "My Nascar", select
"Bio", and enter the recent history. In the recent history,
it should show that you have finished two seasons in one day and
the same car.
Faster car
To get a faster car in any mode, hold the Left Analog-stick
in the direction that you are driving.
Night tracks
Go to season mode and then to "Custom Schedule".
You can unlock night races for the day tracks.
Alternate night tracks
Win the race that has a locked version of an alternate
night track under the veteran difficulty, 3% race length, and
damage on visual only. Repeat this method on all tracks that have
a locked version of it.
Road courses
To unlock a road course for Texas, Talladega, Pocono,
Phoenix, Homestead or Daytona, race the original track on the
medium or veteran difficulty. 3% is the easiest race length and
the fastest.
Fantasy and night tracks and cars
Go to season mode. Choose custom for tracks. Then,
choose locked tracks on medium. You can race at whichever locked
track you choose. if you win race, you unlock a track. if you
also have a locked car, you also win the first locked car.
Easy All Star race and Bud Shootout
Instead reaching the EA Bio levels for the All-Star
race and the Shootout, just race a season under veteran at 3 or
more % race length, damage on visual only, and brake and steering
help, and win those races.
To get into the All Star race, win the Daytona 500 (in career
mode). You will be in the All Star until you "retire".
Easy win
On a longer race, race backwards and try to take every
racer out. Make sure they are in flames. Pause game play and check
the "Race Stats" periodically to see who is still on
the track. Then, turn back around and race with no competition.
Note: When you are checking the Race Stats, if you see "Off"
under any racer, that indicates that they will be in the pits
for a long period of time.
Driving locked car part
In multi player mode, you can drive a locked car. This
only works with one person at a time. Have a player choose their
car, then have the other player go to the same car. Have them
change to a locked car. After that, they can choose their car.
Drive same car
In two player mode, have someone pick a created car
then have the other player go to that car. They can also choose
it. When you race, both players will be driving the same cars.
